Nearing the end of these Winter Olympics

I have literally never been to British Columbia, yet where I left of on the Olympics seemingly there has come to be a certain Canadian pride. There have been several writes on this - I have always pondered on the identity of Canada. And yet for some reason Canada by way of these Winter Olympics have come to indicate something. Now where am I going with this? Canada as I mentioned will not bring home the all the gold medals that was wished to be - my own prediction yet for many I don't think that they really knew what Canada was. What is Canada? I have to look around a little more but Canada is not about winning yet already the games have as well as Vancouver and Whistler have been seen and I do think there is a new look at what Canada is from other countries. For myself, it has always been tremendously difficult to describe Canada in a few words there are some tremendous writing out there especially from the USA, as they never really realized. Ironically, British Columbia has really come into it's own. I myself have never been to this one province. Yet right now it's as green as can be, parts of it I guess. What Canada is...? I think that Canada has really made an international impact with these games and lets face there has always been a differences between people as we all live within different countries and within the sport it's really all good. Within the evenings I have been watching some of these games but most of all I was taken by NBC when the broadcasters of the morning show whom would get up early in the morning in order to make there simulcast, all four that were within some area within British Columbia. There is a good unity, by way of sport, meanwhile the ministers of each province met with the governors of the Unites States - is that a coincidence? Then when you look beyond internationally for some reason Canada has always been understood, as we although we never had a name of our identity. The games I think have done far more good internationally and as well between these two borders that are one of the longest within the world. I have never in my life seen Canadians at large wave flags in a manner the manner in with there is a patriotic flair. Literally it’s being done from all eleven provinces from Newfoundland all the way to British Colombia. It’s certainly a different thing to see. As far as who comes out on top, I think it was a large disappointment to many Canadians to see that Canada lost the game between USA and Canada - yet it's not over yet. Meanwhile the Canadians womens team they really have done great. Canada will not take home the predicted medals or hopes - but in a way that is what the Olympics. Yet from what I can see now many are saying this is one of the best a few have said by way of the city of Vancouver itself.
